Arpita Parikh, 26, marketing executive. What brings you out tonight? "We saw a movie and wanted to check out the new arcade here." What did you see? "We saw 'Entourage.' It wasn't as good as we thought. It was good, and I'm a fan of the show, but the movie wasn't as good." What are you drinking tonight? "I'm not a drinker, I usually drink water or Red Bull if I'm feeling crazy." What's your favorite festival food? "Pizza and fries. I'm a vegetarian, so you can't really go wrong with a slice of pizza." Are you more of a board game or video game person? "Video games. I never really played board games as a kid, but I really loved playing Crash Bandicoot and Smuggler's Run."

Jacob Fish, 25, phlebotomist. What brings you out tonight? "I'm here on a date. Exploring the city and found this movie. We're waiting to see 'Poltergeist.' It was between that or 'Insidious 3.'" Are you drinking anything tonight? "Not tonight, but I'm not ashamed to say I like fruity drinks, so something like a margarita." Board games or video games? "Video games. Board games have their place. They're sweet and simple. Video games are more an amalgamation of art, their storytelling and their visuals." What was the last concert you went to? "It was a few years ago. I think it was at the Congress for Thrice's farewell tour."
